World Record Payara Fishing in Venezuela

At Uraima Falls you will experience the most challenging Payara fishery in the world. You can troll in some locations and cast in others. You have the option of fishing from island shores for very large payara. Your guide may have you fish in fast water beneath the falls or in the main and quick currents of the Paragua River. The Payara often exceed 30-pounds, striking with enormous power and stripping line off very fast. Uraima Falls is the only lodge in South America exclusively geared to the Payara. The Payara can be described as a salmon with a bad attitude.
